Hollow Glass Microspheres - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Hollow glass microspheres are specially processed glass beads, mainly composed of borosilicate. They are new - type lightweight materials at the micron level developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Generally, their particle size is 10 - 250μm, and the wall thickness is 1 - 2μm. Their interior is filled with thin gas, and they are closed - type micro - spheres made of inorganic materials and filled with CO₂ gas.

Hollow glass microspheres have the advantages of low density, low thermal conductivity, high strength, and good chemical stability. After special treatment, they have oleophilic and hydrophobic properties and are easy to disperse in organic materials such as resins. They also have excellent properties such as insulation, self - lubrication, sound insulation, water - repellency, fire - resistance, corrosion - resistance, radiation - protection, and non - toxicity. Due to these characteristics, hollow glass microspheres are widely used in composite materials such as fiberglass - reinforced plastics, artificial marble, and artificial agate, as well as in the petroleum industry, aerospace, new - type high - speed trains, automobiles and ships, thermal - insulation coatings, and other fields.

In terms of the market, the demand for hollow glass microspheres is affected by multiple factors. From the perspective of application fields, the construction industry is one of the main application industries. They are used to manufacture building materials with thermal - insulation and sound - insulation properties, such as window glass and wall panels. With the increasing demand for energy - saving and environmentally - friendly building materials, their application prospects in the construction field are broad. In the automotive industry, with the development of the lightweight trend of automobiles, hollow glass microspheres can be used to manufacture automotive interior parts, body structural parts, etc., to reduce the weight of automobiles and improve fuel efficiency. In the aerospace field, the requirements for material lightweight and high - performance are extremely high, and hollow glass microspheres can meet these requirements and can be used to manufacture aircraft structural components, thermal - insulation materials, etc. In addition, in the emerging 5G communication field, hollow glass microspheres can be used to manufacture composite materials with low dielectric constants to meet the requirements of communication equipment for signal transmission performance.
